Onda oBook 11 Pro, oBook 10 Plus are Surface Book clones with cheaper hardware

China based tablet maker Onda has launched oBook 11 Pro, a 2-in-1 tablet which looks like Microsoft's Surface Book clone, including the hinge design and docking mechanism.

The Onda oBook 11 Pro sports a 11.6 inch Full HD (1920 x 1080 pixels) IPS display and is equipped with Intel Skylake Core M3-6Y30 processor, 4GB RAM, 64GB SSD storage and runs Windows 10. It also supports an active stylus and includes HDMI and USB 3.0 ports.

The specs are quite decent for a mid-range 2-in-1 tablet, but design aside, the oBook 11 Pro is no Surface Book. For comparison, the Surface Book has a 13.5-inch 3000 x 2000 PixelSense display, much powerful Intel Core i5/i7 skylake processor, 8GB/16GB RAM, NVIDIA graphics and 128GB/256GB/512GB SSD.

Onda also announced the oBook 10 Plus, a smaller Surface Book styled 2-in-1 tablet. It has 10.1-inch 2560 x 1600 display, a less powerful Intel Atom X5 Z8300 (Cherry Trail) processor, 4GB RAM and 64GB eMMC storage. This model supports dual-boot and active stylus.

The base model of Surface Book starts at $1,499, but with hardware like these, the Onda oBook 11 Pro and oBook 10 Plus are expected to be dirt cheap. The pricing and availability details are not known.
